Coming into Cathletics after 6 months of CFFB and a month or so of my own conditioning/oly prep work programming. Exhausted the CFFB linear progression and I love oly lifting...a buddy of mine (an AsRx athlete) who was out here with me introduced me to Catalyst. I respect the hell out of the programming you guys have put together, and even after a single night my body tells me how intelligently designed this is. I'm beat the hell up, but definitely not broken. And disturbingly excited for tonight. The book and dvd are ordered.

Starting with the April 2009 10-week cycle because it fits into the time frame my partner and I have before we go on R&R.

Whoah. Ow. This was infinitely more brutal than either of us expected. Everything today was fairly easy except the muscle snatches, but personally I feel like I just got trucked by John Welbourn on PCP.

Looking forward to following your progression Will. A lot of us in the training log document all kinds of different workouts. Best of luck with your progressions.

Thanks man. Glanced through your log a second ago; how much weight did you end up gaining? Jared and I are both doing GOMAD with this. I started CFFB at 140 in January; I'm at 160 right now.

I haven't talked to him yet, but I still feel like I just got pushed through a meat grinder. Need to work on catching weights on my back from the overhead position...got a nasty bruise right around C6/C7.

I think it was right around 16 lb's total when I ran it the first time. I have fluctuated up and down quite a lot with my different goals. Listen to your body for sure as you go through the program. You are your own best coach.

Feel like every piece of connective tissue in my body is ready to pop. Bought a little Canon P&S and a stand yesterday so we can get some slo-mo videos and stills for form checks on here. Should be here in a week or so.
